My Updates

Last day!

Monday 31st Mar
So with 16 miles to go, it's a bit of a grim last day task to get those last miles done and dusted. Plan is to get out lunchtime (work permitting) and blast out a 5km walk (3 miles) and then cycle the rest after work tonight. I don't want to continue into April, so just gotta get it done! I am inching ever closer to my £100 target please consider sponsoring me and make this heel pain worthwhile! LOL :)

Nearly there...!

Wednesday 26th Mar
Now down to the final 35 miles having cranked out 5 miles at lunchtime today. Foot feels okay, has definitely improved overall and piriformis discomfort all but gone - I can still feel it if I twist a certain way so keeping on with the exercises. I am in Margate this weekend with my bro so lots of opportunity for coastal walking to get those final miles in. 

As usual if you've followed my adventures with idle enthusiasm, a modicum of interest, a vague almost non-existent nod of approval or a slight tilt of an eyebrow then please consider donating to this very worthwhile cause. Thank ye kindly :)

10 Days of Walking!

Monday 10th Mar
Well, 10 days into March and all 10 days have logged a walk, sometimes a small jaunt to get some miles in, others like today where I've deliberately gone about making a dent in the total remaining. Tempting to jump on the bike and bash out the remaining miles, but I am sticking to my guns and walking the entire distance! Now I'm on top of the piriformis issues, walking is a lot easier/stronger, just mindful of not to overdue it with my left foot still painful in the mornings. :)

Progress Update

Wednesday 5th Mar
So, 4 days in and 13 miles done, seems quite a tall order right now to get this done within a month, especially considering my left foot and the sciatica (google diagnosis!), but onwards we must plod. I will get this done! It's my birthday today, will get the 5km (3.2 miles) done.
